Raymond slightly moved his black eyes and then he kissed Scarlett's forehead.
Scarlett smiled lightly and sat up. "Hilla, open the curtains."
The bright sunlight shone in the room. Scarlett raised her hand to cover her eyes and said, "I'm going to wash up."
"Okay."
Raymond narrowed his eyes and watched Scarlett enter the bathroom. Then he picked up his phone that was vibrating aside and answered the phone.
The phone call was from Frank. The news of Ryker's abduction of Scarlett last night spread online at three o’clock in the morning. Now many netizens had had a heated discussion on the Internet about one shareholder of Tenton being kidnapped by another shareholder.
There were no pictures or videos about that published on the Internet. There were only some text messages. Nevertheless, the stock of Tenton dropped this morning.
It was not just a trivial matter, and it must have a bad impact on Tenton. It must have had an impact on Tenton.
Frank found out that the news was spread by Scott. Ryker and Scott were desperate.
Ryker was trying to ruin Tenton and got Raymond involved.
Frank had already blocked the news, but he was worried that Scott would do something else, so he called Raymond and asked for suggestions.
After Raymond heard it, he showed a cold expression. "Since Scott has time to spread the news, let's find something for him to do.
Frank understood and said, "I know, Mr. Shaw."
He paused for a moment and decided to tell Raymond the result of his discussion with Scarlett's lawyer last night.
"Although Ryker kidnapped Ms. Reed to blackmail you, he did not hurt Ms. Reed. The circumstances of his crime are minor and he may only be sentenced to five years at most. But after Scott spread the news on the Internet, Jerry contacted me just now. He said that if this matter causes a great social impact, Ryker might be sentenced to five to ten years in prison."
Public opinion was a double-edged sword. Ryker wanted to use public opinion to destroy Tenton and Raymond, but perhaps, public opinion would also destroy him.
Ryker was crazy. He probably only wanted to make Raymond unhappy.
Now, Raymond was facing a dilemma. If Raymond wanted Ryker to get a longer sentence, then he must sacrifice the current interests of Tenton. If he wanted to protect Teuton's stock, then Ryker's sentence would not be too long.
Raymond snorted. "Then don't block the news. It's best to make a big deal out of this.
He had money and he didn't care about the instant benefits.
When Scarlett finished washing up and came out, she heard Raymond's words and asked with curiosity, "What are you talking about?"
